    How to remove the folders under "This PC" but keep them elsewhere?


    I couldn't fit it all in the title. Basically what I'm trying to ask for is if there is a way to remove the folders from "This PC" so I'm just displaying my hard drives like before. I'd like to keep the folders under quick access, and I would like to keep the folders in general, but they simply do not belong right by the drives under "This PC". I like change, but this one, I do not like at all.

    :)

    How to remove the folders under "This PC" but keep them elsewhere?

    Unfortunately that's all the details I have. I run the .reg to remove all folders (the first choice) and then reboot my PC. They all still appear to be there, so even though I rebooted I try it again but this time just restart the explorer process. That doesn't seem to do it either. I haven't tried manually editing the registry though, but I don't know what ones to change, if that would be needed.

    I just tried the method given in post#2 to remove all folders and it worked A-OK. I'm running Build 10240.

    Interestingly enough, the third time I did it worked. I did it strangely though. Had to kill the explorer process, only to realize that broke the entire desktop (woops), so I had to ctrl-alt-delete and do a restart. Came back on and the folders are removed. Heh.
